So the next question is, what makes alcohol attractive in the first place and what does it deplete? Maybe the depletions are a clue? I've only got so many stem cells, so whilst it might seem logical to reduce inflammation to preserve the demand for stem cells, how can I increase my red bone marrow? Filgrastim is not an answer.

What makes alcohol attractive. In my experience alcohol in many social situations helps people form a connection (cutting through layers of bs we masquerade around with). It helps people break the ice and form a bond .. both as just friends and also with possible love interests. The issue that I have seen is that we humans form habits (and addictions). So let’s say alcohol helped me make some friends in college and hook up with a lady friend who become a serious romantic long term partner. Your brain is like yeah .. she alcohol helps… and the inflammation issues take years before you notice any symptoms. Years later you just now associate alcohol with socializing and good time .. or even associate with relaxation. As you age and life is stressful this can dangerous because now your body has become dependent on this substance for mental relaxation / stress unwinding. Now you find yourself drinking by at home with no love interest and maybe just alone without friends. Fast forward now you find yourself overweight and having health issues … and your like man cannot believe this is happening to me .. aging sucks and I am unlucky. Your subconscious and habit do a good job of stopping you from making any connection that perhaps alcohol has been playing a role here. Side note: I am friends with a couple recovered alcoholics and am just basing my rambling response based on my own life experiences.
